After making a career-high 11 saves against No. 2 Stanford and shutting out No. 11 Cal, Arizona’s Lainey Burdett was named the Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week.
It’s about time, her teammates say.
“We have a lot of a good players that don’t get credit sometimes,” said UA forward Jada Talley. “Lainey just got credit this week and she saves us so many times.”
Burdett has four shutouts this season, and the fourth-best goals-against average in the Pac-12 (.67).
Stanford tallied 32 shots against the Wildcats, but only one found the back of the net — the Cardinal’s lowest offensive output of the season.
